Chapter 63: The Mystery of Fluffiness
At this time, they were able to breathe a sigh of relief, and the two of them hurriedly packed up the things on the stall, and then hurried to eat breakfast again.
As a result, before I could eat a few bites, someone came over again, and the group of people just now were in a hurry to work, so they kept urging them, and now these people are the people in the town, and they have more time, so they came slowly.
Some people carry their own bowls, thinking of taking them back to their families to taste, and their lives are better, and they have to eat some steamed buns or steamed buns after selling tofu brains.
Seeing the people eating tofu brains in front of her stall, Lin Qiu'er's mind moved, these people all ate tofu brains and ate some steamed buns and the like, if she taught Ye Lan to make some cakes or flower rolls and other things, wouldn't she be able to follow them every day?
Lin Qiu'er thought about the problem, stopped in her hand, and stared at the ground in a daze.
"Well, hostess, what are you thinking?"
"That's right, I'm still waiting to eat tofu brain, why did you stop?"
When Lin Qiu'er heard the voice, she came back to her senses and looked at them and said, "I'm really sorry, I was distracted just now, I'll get it for you right away." “
Those people didn't speak again, this time they came with two buckets of tofu brains, so although business is better today than last time, it is almost time to go back.
On the way back, Lin Qiu'er told Tang Zhi'an what she had just thought, Tang Zhi'an frowned, "What you said is okay, but I don't know if my sister-in-law will follow suit?" ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said: "Don't underestimate your sister-in-law's character, she will definitely follow suit, I think she is the kind of person who has an adventurous spirit." ”
Tang Zhian looked at her and said, "Since you have already said so, then do it according to your own ideas!" ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded, and when she went down, she would go to Ye Lan and tell her about it, and she would probably agree when the time came, which was also where she could help them at present.
After lunch, Lin Qiu'er took the needlework and went to Ye Lan's house, she didn't do embroidery work today, the weather was about to be hot, she had to prepare summer clothes for her and Tang Zhi'an.
"Sister-in-law, are you at home?" When she got to the door, she hurriedly shouted.
Ye Lan hurriedly came out, "It's Qiu'er, come in quickly!" How did you get time to come to us today? ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said, "Naturally, there is something to find you." ”
Ye Lan took her to her house and said, "Are you making clothes for Zhi'an?" ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded.
"And what are you looking for me?"
Lin Qiu'er and Ye Lan were not polite, and sat directly on their kang, "Sister-in-law, I think so, our family's business of making tofu brains is very good now, those people have to go to other stalls to buy steamed buns or steamed buns every time, I think if you make steamed buns or cakes and sell them next to us, this business must be very good, what do you think?" ”
Ye Lan looked at her in surprise, "Is this okay?" ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said: "What's wrong with this, sister-in-law, you should believe in yourself, I have observed, many people have to eat some steamed buns when they eat tofu brain." ”
Ye Lan thought for a while and said: "But I don't know how to make that steamed bun, you know that the people in our village make wotou or cakes, unlike the steamed buns and buns made by the people in the town are very soft, I don't know what their secret recipe is." ”
Lin Qiu'er also knew this, she had observed before, the nests or cakes brought by the people in the town were all hard, and there was obviously no fermentation process, while the steamed buns and buns in the town were obviously fermented, very soft and fragrant.
This is why their business is so good, Ye Lan also thought of this before saying it.
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll teach you then, I know how to make these things soft, and you can make steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and so on when you learn it." ”
Ye Lan looked at her and said, "Really? ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded.
Ye Lan smiled and said: "Then thank you, my sister-in-law also knows that this craft can make money if you go out, you are willing to teach it to me, this is your kindness, so be it!" Our family does this business, how about half of the money earned by the family at that time? “
Lin Qiu'er smiled, this Ye Lan is really honest, if others would definitely not mention this, but she actually took the initiative to give them half of the business.
"No need, sister-in-law, you can do this business, we have our own business, I will teach you, this is also because we have a good relationship, don't say anything else, this business is taught to you, you have to prepare well and run it well."
Ye Lan still didn't agree, "This can't be done, the craft is yours, we have to give money!" ”
Lin Qiu'er waved her hand, "Sister-in-law, it's decided, I will only teach you the craft of this business, and I won't care about the rest, if you give us money again, it will be a share with us!" “
The words have already been said to this point, Ye Lan can only agree, "Okay, sister-in-law will accept it, your good sister-in-law will remember it for a lifetime." ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said okay.
The two of them said something, Lin Qiu'er is going to teach Ye Lan tomorrow, and this business requires capital, and it must be made white, this is to be sold.
Lin Qiu'er understands that these fluffy steamed buns and buns are all fermented, and the wotou and dead flour cakes they eat themselves are not fermented.
But now there is no baking powder to use, so I can only make it myself, Lin Qiu'er wants to use mash to make it, and there are mash grains sold in the town, which are sold in places that sell rice wine.
It is usually bought by rich and noble families to make sweet soup, and this is what she needs.
She asked Ye Lan to go to the town to buy some mash and white noodles and come back, and tomorrow she would teach her how to make fluffy steamed buns and cakes.
Of course, when she was studying, she was going to use her own flour, and after teaching Ye Lan, she went back to make it with her own flour, and she could sell it directly in the town.
The next day, Ye Lan arrived at their house, and Lin Qiu'er taught her to use cornmeal and mash to make yeast first, and if she made it later, she would use it directly, so she didn't have to make it so troublesome.
Mix the cornmeal with water to make a paste, make it thicker, then add the mash, stir it and then add some flour to make the dough, but it should be very soft, and when it is ready, put it aside for an hour or two.
After the dough is raised, break the dough into small pieces and dry it in the sun.
After that, it is necessary to prepare the steamed buns, and the key problem with this method is to make a paste with water, add the yeast that has been prepared before, put the fermented bread in a warm place, let it ferment slowly, and stir it every once in a while.
When it is fermented, you can steam out the fluffy steamed buns, Lin Qiu'er slowly told Ye Lan about these steps, Ye Lan learned every step very seriously, in the end, she is a person who often goes to the kitchen, and she learns it after one or two times.
Lin Qiu'er and the others went to catch up with the meeting again, and Ye Lan and their business were also ready, so they could go with them this time.
